Blake Bortles

Thanks to higher-profile first-round quarterbacks and the low profile that comes from six years and counting of no playoff berths, the Jaguars have been able to avoid plenty of the attention that otherwise would come from having the third overall pick in the draft supposedly parked behind a career journeyman.

That could soon be ending. Recent rave reviews of rookie QB Blake Bortles combined with, via Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com, a strong showing in Saturday night’s intrasquad scrimmage could make Bortles’ elevation to starter a Week 1 inevitability.

Fantasy Impact: 

Teams usually don't invest that must in a QB only to have him sit on the bench. The Jags WRs are also young so the move would make some sense. However the fear of throwing him out there too early is always one to consider with rookie QBs. Either way, Bortles or Chad Henne will likely need some time to establish fantasy value this season.

The pads have come on. And so has Jaguars rookie QB Blake Bortles, who has exceeded offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch's expectations with his growth spurt through the first week of training camp.

Not that Bortles is a legitimate threat yet to unseat veteran starter Chad Henne, whose experience and knowledge of Fisch's system give him a sizable advantage.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have been steadfastly clear with their intentions to shelter Blake Bortles to start the 2014 season.

While the rookie quarterback agrees with the decision to sit and learn behind Chad Henne, Bortles told NFL Media's Bryan Fischer at the Nike Elite 11 camp in Beaverton, Oregon, on Monday that he'd be ready if called upon early.

"I think you have to have the mindset that you have to go out and compete every day," Bortles said. "You want to be the guy. In my situation, whenever my number is called I want to be ready to go and execute the offense just like Chad would. That's my goal, to make sure I'm prepared and ready and continuing to get better."

Fantasy Impact: 

Bortles just may get his chance at some point this season, although Henne seems like he has some tools to work with on offense. Either way, you'll find the Jacksonville QBs near the bottom of our list.

Jaguars RB Toby Gerhart is slated to be the focal point of Jedd Fisch's attack in Jacksonville, and Gerhart hopes to spearhead a strategy that worked so well for Gus Bradley in Seattle.

"Gus comes from the Seattle Seahawks' model of playing good defense, relying on the run game where Marshawn Lynch was their 'Beast Mode' out there," Gerhart said Wednesday, per USA Today. "Hopefully, I'll be the 'Beast Mode' down here for the Jaguars. I want to be a guy who helps turn this program around with a physical, punishing offense."

General manager David Caldwell improved the front line during the offseason with the additions of former Seahawks Chris Clemons and Red Bryant, along with Ziggy Hood. The offense received some new life with the draft picks of Blake Bortles, Allen Robinson and Marqise Lee. Now, the Jags will need Gerhart to add some punch on the ground, and he knows he has big shoes to fill.

Fantasy Impact: 

Toby Gerhart has touched the ball 15+ times in seven career games and has averaged low-end RB1 numbers (12.6 FP) with that type of workload. The former Heisman candidate will start for the Jaguars and should see a lot of work in that role. Gerhart has fantasy RB2 potential as a lead back.
